Aretaon asperrimus
 Female Sabah stick insect, Aretaon asperrimus. |
 BSP |
Sabah stick insects are small chunky, slow moving stick
insects, ideal for handling. In the wild they are found in Sabah, a state in
Borneo. Sabah stick insects have males and females. The females have a pointed end to their bodies (called the ovipositor) and they use this to bury their eggs in sand. Sabah stick insects eat bramble (blackberry) leaves and wild rose (dog rose) leaves. Their eggs incubate for five months and are easy to hatch. Sabah stick insects are an easy stick insect to keep. They live about one year. |

Sabah stick insects do well in the BSP cage. The BSP is tall (46cm, 18 inches) high so the stick insects have room to grow properly. The sides have lots of holes which provide a good foothold so the stick insects can climb the sides of the cage. Sabah stick insects prefer less-ventilated conditions and so attach the clear Ventilation Control Panel (included) around the outside of the cage. The floor should be lined with a disposable BSP Liner (replaced weekly) so the stick insects are kept in clean conditions.
Sabah stick insects eat bramble (blackberry) leaves and the stems with bramble leaves should be kept fresh in the Sprig Pot of water. You need to mist the leaves with water every day from a plant sprayer; this is so the stick insects can drink from the droplets on the leaves. Sabah stick insects need additional water and so ensure the shallow Water Dish (included) is always full of fresh cold tap water.
The Sabah stick insects kit includes everything you need to look after these stick insects properly.
